Didn't this production end up cutting out almost 90 minutes of material during rehearsals? I think originally it had an intermission also. Does anyone remember anything that they cut, besides Yancey's speech?

Sweeney Todd in Paris - Stunning! May 6

For anyone who has been to this theatre - I need advice on buying tickets... The Corbeille de Cote, first level up on the side, very near the stage, do you think those seats, which are closer to the stage, are too far to the side? Or would it be better to sit further back in the center more?

Not sure about the opening of the second act. But the original Moore was Martin Vidnovic who was replaced in previews. There was a reason...can't recall right now...

High Fidelity wants the Beck. They're considering postponing until the Spring, when Wedding will close. Curtains has their sights set on the Imperial. And with DRS's new cast...they're time is limited. Cort is Little Dog Laughed.

It seems that they don't want a smaller house. If so, they could take the Longacre (1095). Or wait until Inishmore closes in the next couple of months (Lyceum - 922). But from what I've heard from a couple of people is that their eyes are set on the O'Neill (1104) after Sweeney closes this fall/ winter.

I'm through that area every day on my lunch break. They removed the old mural. Really pissed about it. They removed it, restored parts of the solid mirror on the wall, and then put up the billboard.

As of now, they are planning on running until 1/28/2007

If i'm correct, there's only three open theaters...Cort; Belasco and the Longacre. If their hoping for a fall start, they shouldn't be waiting for an existing show to post a closing notice. Most likely, that won't be until Labor Day for some of these shows.

And it seems the new shows have already booked their theatres... Hilton - has Grinch, then Pirate Queen Broadhurst - has Les Mis Booth - has ...Magical
